Steve's Notes

NGC 5127

17.5" (5/19/01): fairly faint, fairly small, roundish but slightly irregular outline, 1.0' diameter.  The bright core appears offset to the geometric center.  A neat group of four mag 13-14 stars lies 3'-4' NW.  Forms a pair with difficult CGCG 161-41 6' N.  NGC 5127 is the second-brightest galaxy in Zwicky cluster 1319.6+3135 and brightest in LGG 350.
